This volume deals with the complex issues raised by the verb as a situation aspect vehicle. It compares English and Russian, languages whose verbal systems are entirely structured by the perfective – imperfective opposition. It aims to transmit to a French-speaking readership the main theories, both old and new, that elaborate an aspectual calculus. They show in particular this field’s changes. The focus is now on the event structure that the verb provided with these thematic roles conveys and that ensures the interfacing with the phrasal syntax. The perspective chosen leads to a decidedly compositional vision of verbal lexicon.
